What is My Hours?
My Hours is building out reporting and invoicing on a steady, unglamorous release cadence
My Hours alternates feature releases with fix-only patches on a roughly two-week rhythm. The 9.8.0 release added an Attendance report covering target versus actual hours, overtime, breaks and paid time off, put budget spent and remaining onto the dashboard and detailed reports, and linked invoices back to a pre-filtered report view.
What is Rize?
Rize's agency launch shipped as seven same-day entries, one of them published twice
Rize started as an automatic time tracker for individuals and has, in a single dated batch, put an entire professional-services layer on top of it: profitability by client, project and member from hourly, retainer and hybrid contracts; resourcing and utilisation; invoicing from tracked time through to recorded payments; timesheets; and an organisation permission model with Finance and Resourcing grants. Every one of these surfaces is exposed through the Agent, API and MCP alongside the app, not only in the UI.

My Hours
2.5PM
My Hours is building out reporting and invoicing on a steady, unglamorous release cadence
◆ Current state
My Hours alternates feature releases with fix-only patches on a roughly two-week rhythm. The 9.8.0 release added an Attendance report covering target versus actual hours, overtime, breaks and paid time off, put budget spent and remaining onto the dashboard and detailed reports, and linked invoices back to a pre-filtered report view.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is thickening around reporting and billing rather than time capture itself, which is already solved. Recent releases consistently connect two existing surfaces — invoice to report, budget to dashboard — instead of adding standalone features.
◆ Prediction
Expect attendance and budget data to converge into a single manager view, since both now exist as reports but are read separately.
Rize
8.8PM
Rize's agency launch shipped as seven same-day entries, one of them published twice
◆ Current state
Rize started as an automatic time tracker for individuals and has, in a single dated batch, put an entire professional-services layer on top of it: profitability by client, project and member from hourly, retainer and hybrid contracts; resourcing and utilisation; invoicing from tracked time through to recorded payments; timesheets; and an organisation permission model with Finance and Resourcing grants. Every one of these surfaces is exposed through the Agent, API and MCP alongside the app, not only in the UI.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is a category move rather than a feature run. Rize is repositioning from personal productivity, where it competed on capture quality, into the operating stack of agencies and accounting firms, where the buyer is a principal who wants margin and capacity numbers. Because the underlying time data is captured passively, the pitch is that those numbers do not depend on anyone remembering to log hours. Shipping the whole surface through MCP on day one makes the same data agent-addressable from the start.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next work to be about trust in the numbers rather than more surfaces — cost-rate history, contract edge cases and approval trails are what a firm will interrogate before it bills from passively captured time.
